Apple’s is $270.
Typical Apple tax, completely unrelated to the few dollars a keyboard costs to make for real.

You’re not entirely wrong, in that the Apple Tax is real. Nonetheless, the quality of the Magic Keyboard is substantially higher than that of a keyboard you can get for “few dollars” Ultimately, your assertion was: An iPad Air costs the same but comes with a much better M4 processor. The main difference is a less crap operating system in macOS. An iPad Air with a keyboard that matches the form factor and build quality of a MacBook Neo does not actually cost the same, it costs an additional $270.
